Five Question Friday

-

Here it is the 2nd of July and I’ve still yet to really see summer.  We’ve had a few nice days but today is cold, dark, dreary and rainy.  These questions from Mama M at My Little Life look like fun.  Check out her blog to see how others have answered these questions.

Questions for Friday, July 2nd:

1. What is one thing you miss the most about childhood? Long, lazy days of endless summer where I rode my bike all over and read books sitting in the tree.  Summer doesn’t seem so lazy and ends far too soon now that I am an adult.

2. Are you still friends with your friends from high school? No.  There are one or two that I do wonder what they’ve been doing all these years.

3. Is there a catch phrase, cliche, or word that just drives you bonkers every time you hear it? YES.  It really drives me insane when people say “anywho”.    It’s anyway people.  Not a who.

4. What is one thing that you think symbolizes America...besides "Old Glory"? I don’t know if it is a thing but rather a concept: materialism.   When I think of America I think of consumerism and materialism.  I love the freedom that I have to be a consumer and I’m grateful for all the material things available.  Usually around the 4th of July I get very patriotic but the lack of summer sun is fooling my brain into thinking it is NOT the 4th of July making it harder to think patriotic thoughts.

5. What are your 4th of July weekend plans? Spend time with my family.  Two of my girls have been gone all week to Youth Church Camp and I”m looking forward to spending time hearing about their adventures.  My husband has a long weekend and that is always special. The “big” plan though is to clean and organize the garage!

    hahaha...I'm here from 5QF AND I'm a fellow crew member! Just thought I'd point out that we both have the same pet peeve of the word "anywho"! LOL Have an awesome day!

    Hello, thanks for visiting my blog on the blogwalk. I hope you had a great 4th.

    Anywho, ha, ha, just kidding. I don't like that non word either. That and my bad.

    Nice to meet you!

Blog Celebration Giveaway!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspir...
